  • Title: A comparison of two indirect methods for localizing the site of urinary infection: beta glucuronidase levels and the presence of antibody-coated bacteria.
    Author: Harris RE, Thomas VL, Underwood JM, Gaudot F.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1978 Jul 15; 131(6):647-9. PubMed ID: 356602.
    Abstract:
    A comparison of two of the indirect methods used for localization of the site of urinary tract infection was made for 218 obstetric patients. There was no correlation between urinary beta glucuronidase activity and the presence of a positive fluorescent antibody test. The ranges of beta glucuronidase activity were so variable that this test could not differentiate between the presence of renal, bladder, or absence of infection.
